Keeping My Thumb off the Scale


When it is so easy to see selfishness in others,
why is it so hard to see selfishness in me?

If I want to live a balanced life,
it's best to keep my thumb off the scale.

    Identity stabs
    An icicle in the chest

    Molting swans
    Beyond cymbals

    Porcupine quills
    In a blood drawing

    Architecture with
    An x-acto knife

    Snorting pulverized
    Glass with each

    Grasp to pry
    Loose what was meant

    By the golden mean
    Sty in the eye
